I have repeatedly observed the snails in my back garden digging into my freshly sown lawn. On removing them they leave a hole about 3-4cm deep, one had even laid its eggs and they were clearly visible. Fascinated, I tried to 'harvest' them for a bit of a science project with my daughter but squished them in the process! I am fascinated by this behavior as it is something I have never seen before.

How many eggs do snails lay?

It depends on the type of snail. Maybe 30 to 20 eggs depends on the tip of the snail. Snails that lay their eggs in aquarium's tend to give birth from 200 to 300 eggs. Snails can only lay 2 at a time. Hermaphroditic snails lay about 80 eggs 6 times a year. Most land snails lay 40 to 60 eggs (according to some authors even 100). Well that's all I know about how many eggs a snail lays a year! :)
